The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

Alan Stone goes home once every two months, and stays at home for a week each time.

As soon as he fell into Mrs. Stone's pampering arms, he would immediately cast off the good posture he had developed in the military academy, and return to his former style at home, even more unruly than ordinary rich young masters.

He just rode a lot of horses outside—there is a large expanse of grass near Ston Hill, which is more suitable for riding horses than the playground of the military academy—he rode the horse briskly, just when he was full of ambition, he was still wearing the outside The boots went upstairs.

He didn't walk honestly, he jumped with every step, the soles of his shoes were covered with wet soil, and every time he lifted his foot, he left a small handful of dirty mud on the carpet.

He stomped on the soles of his feet and whistled, making him the easiest enemy to be sniped.

As he climbed the top step and was about to turn into the hallway, Grace turned noiselessly around the corner and looked at him with a sinister silence.

Allen stopped suddenly, and almost immediately wanted to take a step back, but he absolutely didn't want Grace to see that he was taken aback just now, so he forced his indifference and cursed in a disdainful tone: "Like a mouse! "

Grace moved two steps and stood in front of him: "Where is the book my brother gave me?"

Although Alan Ston also used the name "brother" when referring to William Ston in front of Grace, his original intention was to ridicule and remind that Grace could never legally call William "brother" to remind her , her real relationship with William.She could never get what she wanted, not even as William's mistress.

But at the same time, he hated that Grace used "brother" when referring to William Stone in front of him. This was also a kind of sarcasm and a reminder to him, reminding him that he was actually the younger brother of this bitch by blood.

Yes, it is interesting to say that Grace, who was born without a father, has a younger brother.

When Grace's mother, Mary, had an obvious big belly, Mrs. Stone's flat belly all year round actually had a fetus lying there.

Sophie the cook said that Grace should regard Master Allen as a benefactor. If Mrs. Ston hadn't condemned the fetus in her womb because she was pregnant with Master Allen, she would definitely have died before Grace was born. Just get rid of him.

Sophie was handling a chicken when she said these words, and when she said "get rid of it", the half-foot-wide kitchen knife chopped right on the root of the drumstick with a "bang!", and the poor chicken's thigh was separated from its body open.

At that time, Grace was still very young, and she was shocked by the bloody "boom", so she really regarded Alan Stone as a benefactor, thinking that if there was no Alan Stone, her fate would be worse than the cock that Sophie knifed Even more miserable.

So for a long period of time in her childhood, Grace was willing to be bullied by Alan Stone.

Alan Stone is a born devil.

Grace has seriously analyzed it. He believes that there are two souls in Alan Ston's body. When facing his elder brother and outsiders, even his mother, he tries to show his father's side when facing these people. out, that he might follow in his brother's footsteps; and at home, in Mrs. Stone's favor, he would show the devil he had inherited from his mother.

However, in the past two years, Grace has gained new insights into Alan Stone.He thought Alan Ston was a pitiful person, he had to tear himself into two people and play two faces to show others.In his heart, he yearns for the excellence and greatness of his elder brother—this is beyond doubt in Grace’s view. Any progressive man should look up to William Ston; In front of Mrs. Dunton, he played the opposite of his brother.

Don't misunderstand here, of course Mrs. Stone also loves her eldest son. Her eldest son is a complete replica of her husband, in appearance, figure, temperament, intelligence, willpower, etc., so of course she loves her eldest son .

But her eldest son is too much like her husband. Both father and son have the same high ambitions, and they are also not very close to her—there is respect and love, but they are never close.

After her youngest son was born, Mrs. Stone wished she could hold him in her arms all the time, and wanted to make him her "own" son.Without the restraint of Mr. Ston, she can pamper her children as she likes. She doesn't have to go to the boarding school for boys when she is six years old like her eldest son, and go to the military academy in the capital when she is 12 years old.

It was only later that Alan Stone went to the military academy. He couldn't resist the light of his brother, and at the age of 15, he was admitted to the military academy in the capital with his own grades.William Ston made a special trip home to pick up his younger brother. Mrs. Ston and a group of servants stood outside the villa and said goodbye in tears.

Grace still remembers how the two of them rode on horses, galloped for a long distance, and then reined in their horses and looked back at the same time.At that moment, even he couldn't help feeling that the two brothers were really similar.

But when William Stone wasn't home, Alan Stone was a small devil and a big bastard.

He must have heard something from Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Brown that Grace was always disliked.At that time, Grace regarded him as a benefactor, and always had a docile look with lowered eyebrows and eyes in front of him, and obeyed him.

He would make Grace stand on top of a bowl for a small matter, and Grace would really stand all morning without letting the water in the bowl spill out; he would make Grace eat grass like sheep, and Grace would bend down and use it He took a piece of grass in his mouth, chewed it bitterly and swallowed it.

Alan Stone also likes to let him learn the sounds of various animals: pigs, cows, and dogs. In order to make him happy, Grace has developed a dexterous and changeable voice.Alan Stone wanted him to turn into a horse, so he got down on the ground, let Alan Stone ride on his back, and led him around the yard.Grace is one month older than Alan Ston, but much thinner than him. She often falls to the ground after carrying him for two steps. At this time, Alan Ston will imitate those grown-ups and beat him with a fake whip Grace's ass made all kinds of majestic shouts on Grace.

Grace would get angry sometimes, but would quickly comfort herself that Ellen was a younger brother.Brother... When thinking of this word, Grace couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart.

Alan Stone has a bad temper, and he often gets annoyed after playing. At that time, he hadn't developed masculine charm, and even the maids didn't want to talk to him.There are no other children in the villa, only Grace, who has not yet been assigned housework, is willing to accompany him, listen to him talking nonsense, and pick many beautiful flowers outside the manor for him.Even if the flowers are just handed to him, they will be crushed under his beautiful calfskin boots in a second.

Only at this time, Grace will feel a little sad.

This kind of life lasted until Grace was eight years old. One day, Mrs. Stone suddenly took a dislike to him, and it might be because he thought he was leading Allen. He wandered outside the villa, sometimes even forgetting his tutor's lessons.

Mrs. Stone pointed to the eight-year-old Grace and said: "She is so old, she should find some work for her."

As Mrs. Stone's dog, Mrs. Brown puts Grace in the laundry.

The hosts' clothes were washed in hot water, and their white shirts were starched.The laundry room is full of hot steam all the year round, and people will be out of breath after staying in it for a long time. If it catches up with summer and soaks their hands in hot water for a day, they will easily faint.Grace suffered a lot in it.

Almost at the same time, their neighbor, Maple Leaf Grange, moved in with a new owner. The Odor family, who also made a fortune through business, had a real lady named Helena, who was later engaged to and divorced from William Ston. woman.

Alan Stone visited Grace twice in the laundry room and asked him why he didn't play with him.At that time, Grace was too hot to breathe and could not answer him.The two couldn't see each other through the steam in half the room. Alan Ston couldn't bear the heat in the laundry room. He waited for a while but couldn't answer, and left in a hurry.

At that time, his eyes were already full of Helena Odole, he had never seen such a girl, always wearing beautiful big skirts, raising her head high, her hair exuding fragrance.He quickly forgot about the thin and well-behaved little maid who accompanied him throughout his childhood.

When Grace was ten years old, 15-year-old William Ston brought a few classmates to the villa for vacation, and there were a lot of extra sheets to be washed in the villa.

Grace faints in the laundry room, and Sophie, the cook, delays dinner trying to wake him up.After the guests finished their dinner and went upstairs, Mrs. Brown ran to the basement where the servants lived to reprimand Sophie for leaving her post without authorization.

William Ston came to the basement with a candlestick that had lost one ear, and wanted to ask the housekeeper if it could be repaired. He just heard the cry of the cook: "Grace is still so young, and she just spent a whole day in the laundry room before she could repair it." Fainted, she was lucky to recover her life, how could she be just pretending to be lazy?"

It wasn't until this moment that William Ston knew that his sister, who didn't have a surname, was living in the villa and what kind of life she was living.

Grace slept in William Ston's bed that night.

He was short and looked malnourished, and the skin on his hands wrinkled and shriveled, like a little old lady.

Williamston made him sit on his soft, clean bed, and squatted down in front of him, took one of his hands, and rubbed each finger with moisturizing cream.

Grace looked down at him, and asked mysteriously, "Master William, do you know who I am?"

The 15-year-old William Ston had already begun to have the specifications of a handsome man. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at him tenderly with his blue eyes: "Call me 'brother' from now on."

At that moment, Grace understood that this was the real family affection.

After saying "brother", he knew more things.

It turned out that every time William Ston brought a gift to his family, Grace would have a share of it, but Grace never received it; it turned out that William Ston had reminded his mother in a letter that the younger sister should be given a gift. Sent to a girls' school for education...

He was nervous about his studies and seldom went home. When he got home, he didn't see Grace, so he thought she was out of school.

"I should ask a few more questions..." 15-year-old William Ston held Grace's hand.

When his father passed away, he thought he should take on the responsibility of managing the family, but he was negligent.

Grace saw the blue regret and self-blame in his eyes, and suddenly remembered something: "You hugged me! You picked flowers for me!"

William Ston showed surprise, "That was when you were very young, do you still remember?"

Grace suddenly couldn't control herself, and threw herself into William Ston's arms and began to cry.

It turned out that he picked those flowers for his brother, and those beautiful petals should not have fallen under the heels.
